Attached Message

Attention Dear Beneficially::
I have sent you several notices concerning the claim of your benefit that was paid to you as
compensation from Federal Republic of Benin Republic following my petition against the Government
as a human right activist to compensate you with the sum of $2.500,000.00USD But I have not heard
from you ever since and I hope you will reply this last notice. You were meant to be receiving
$10,000.00 USD daily until it completes the correct amount of $2.500,000.00USD you are to receive,
here is your today?s daily payments also to let you know that the payment should be in 2
transaction with the maximum of $5,000 each that is according to the law of money gram? here in
Cotonuo Benin Republic which meant you cannot receive the $10,000 in one transaction for your own
notice.
Here is the information to pick up your today?s transaction.
Sender first Name: Austin
Sender Last Name: Obaha
Text question: God
Text Answer: Saves
(Reference) #67049610
Amount: $5,000
Sender first Name: Austin
Sender Last Name: Obaha
Text question: A
Text Answer: B
(Reference) #67411738
Amount: $5,000
The status now shows Available for pick up by receiver because this amount has been on the system
for security reasons, since I did not get any reply message from you after sending you several
notices with the transaction details to enable you pick up your Reference number Now, you are
strongly advised for the last time to go on to make the payment of $75usd for the activation
charges via Money Gram money transfer immediately with the details of the Money Gram agent in
Cotonuo Benin Republic ,Once we hear from you we send you the our office receiver name to send $75
only to activate to start receiving your payment as instructed to this Management Dept.
send us eMAIL:moneygrammdept@rediffmail.com : Your Full Information Name\ Address/ Phone Number/
to enable activate the payment:to avoid wrong tramsfer
And send the payment details via email as it clearly appear on the Money Gram slip because it is
impossible and illegal to em-bed the activation charges from the total funds transferred because of
the lawful restriction that has been placed on your funds that restricts anyone from tempering with
your funds for security reasons.
This amount will be made available again within 20 minutes at your resident local Money Gram office
after you have settled the activation fee and I will avail you with the full details of the first 2
REFERENCE CONTROL NUMBERS of $10,000,00usd.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: If your payment for the activation fee is not received after Four (4) days this
time around, you risk forfeiting your benefit permanently.
